"The boy's stepfather, Anthony Ganderton, eventually dragged his unconscious body from the pond. He had been helped by Sergeant Craig Lippitt, a regular police officer, who jumped into the pond after arriving at the scene minutes after the community support officers.

When Sgt Lippitt arrived moments later, he stripped off his body armour and jumped in. He found the boy, pulled him to the bank and tried to resuscitate him."
